I didn't get why that orc wasn't the leader, it took like 4 people to take him down, and the knife arm dude barely was able to take on an exhausted one.

I love how when Jackson included the songs they are still total dick when compared to the 1977 movie. Which is still baller as gently caress.

Actually, gently caress seeing the new one and just watch the Bakshi film for nine hours for a better time.

What?

i have a question: in the end the eagles drop a dude onto the other army and half-way through the drop he turns into a bear and starts tearing poo poo up. Is this dude ever mentioned in the earlier hobbit movies? I don't remember him and I'll be damed if I watching or reading any more about it. It seemed super confusing to non-nerds: oh, look its the eagles again. They're also dropping dudes who can turn into bears mid-flight. I guess those people won't be mentioned again.

He was in the 1st or 2nd movie for 5 minutes, I don't remember which. Gandalf was all "He hates dwarves but if we're lucky we'll live" and they were and did.

Yeah Beorn was in the second movie and in the book. His descendents don't have the ability to transform but they're mentioned in the LOTR books.

You know what the worst part of the trilogy was? The part when the Dwarves did the dishes at Bilbo's place. They didnt even open a tap, I mean how did they clean those bowls? Did they lick them?

"Gaaaaah!" Gandalf cried. Blood streamed under his eyes. "Begone!"

Bilbo was thrown back and onto the grass outside.

Frodo ran out.

"Bilbo!" He said to the creature that was once his friend. "Give me the ring! It'll be alright!"

Bilbo looked at Frodo, his eyes wide and frightened. Did he understand? Frodo would not know, for there was a rustling in the bushes. The creature that could only be Gollum leapt on the Hobbit.

"Where isss it?" It hissed, its breath warm and hot on Bilbo's face. "Where'sss my preciouss? We wants it, yes we do!"

"I won it fair and square!" Choked Bilbo.

"You're a liar!" Gollum hissed. He punched Bilbo.

"No!" Bilbo sobbed.

"And a thief!"

"Not listening!" Bilbo said covering his ears. "Not listening!"

"Murrrrderrrrer..." Gollum grinned.

"It was just a dragon!" Bilbo sobbed. "Who cares about a dragon?"

"It wass merely taking a snooze, yess it was!" Gollum screamed. "And you had to dissturb it, you fat sstupid Hobbit!" Gollum help up a finger, its nail long and sharp. He stuck it in Bilbo's pendulous, sagging belly and pulled forward. Blood oozed out and Bilbo screamed in horror and pain. All Frodo could do was watch.

Bilbo kicked Gollum, and Gollum let out a hiss. Bilbo tried crawling away and Gollum lay on the ground exhausted. Then Gollum's eyes caught a thin sliver of gold sticking out from Bilbo's pocket.

The ring.

His precious.

Gollum leapt on Bilbo with a scream.

"Give it to usss!" He roared. The two creatures were rolling on the ground in an intense struggle. Gollum grinned and stuck his finger in Bilbo's throat, and ripped it open.

Bilbo's eyes stared in disbelief. His arms moved aimlessly before they dropped to the ground. Gollum grinned and pulled off the ring.

"We has our preciouss!" It crooned and jumped up and down. "Oh happy, happy, happy!"

Gollum went off into the woods dancing in delight.

Frodo went up to Bilbo.

"F-F-Frodo..." Bilbo gurgled. Tears welled up in Frodo's eyes. Bilbo had just killed one of Frodo's best friends, and tried to harm another. Yet, Frodo could not bear to see him suffer.

"It's going to be all right." Said Frodo softly.

Bilbo lifted up a hand; to caress Frodo's face, maybe to wipe away his tears. Then his face began to push inwards and his hand began to dissolve. His hair turned to fine, thin wisps. His shirt crumpled inwards. All that was left was a fine powder.

Frodo began to sob silently.

Gandalf came up at last, looking very weary. He had dried blood near his eyes.

"Don't worry, Frodo." Said the wizard. "It's all over now. He'll finally find peace."

Frodo nodded, and wiped away his tears. Gandalf put a hand over Frodo's shoulder and the two walked off into the house. Gandalf draped a cloth over Sam's face and began to get Bilbo's old items ready for auction.

Frodo gazed outside the window.

A strong wind came, and what was left of Bilbo blew away in the wind. Frodo turned away to help Gandalf clean up the house.

part of it is that no one had every done anything like lotr when it came out. like there had never been a high fantasy movie with production values and a huge budget ever. so a lot of its silliness and dumb moments didnt stand out as much as the fact that it was surprising that it was as well done as it was
